In 2018, the Pīho­patanga o te Tai Tokerau (a Māori Anglican diocese), came to NZCMS with a vision to see Māori once again bring the Gospel to their own people.

Since then we have partnered with four Māori Evan­gel­ists serving under two Māori dio­ceses: Te Hauoter­angi (Howard) and Ngahuia Karaka (Port Waikato), Keri-Ann Hoki­anga (Manukau, Auck­land) and Fran Hoki­anga (Far North). This min­istry is seeing doors opening to the Gospel that have been shut for decades and many are coming to Christ and flour­ish­ing within a Māori led Chris­tian com­munity. However, we’ve also seen through this work that the harvest is plen­ti­ful, the need is great, and the workers are too few. 

 We invite you to be apart of sending a new wave of Gospel workers into God’s harvest fields. Would you take this ini­ti­at­ive to Christ and ask: “Lord, what are you asking me to give?” 

“Katahi ia ka mea ki ana akonga, He nui te kotinga, ko nga kaimahi ia he ruarua;
Na inoi atu ki te Ariki nana te kotinga, kia tonoa e ia he kaimahi ki tana kotinga.”

“Then he said to his dis­ciples, ‘The harvest is plen­ti­ful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, there­fore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’”

- Matthew 9:37–38
